Autumn

Found this quote on Tay's Blog and really liked it...

"Then summer fades and passes and October comes. We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure."
Thomas Wolfe

New Moon, New Soundtrack

Yesterday Lacey got me a totally awesome present- she burned me the NEW MOON SOUNDTRACK! Very exciting!
I have read two of the four Twilight books and although I'm not the most loyal fan, I did really enjoy them and swear one day I'll find time to read the other two, (just after I finish the five books I'm unsuccessfully and simultaneously reading right now.) I don't think Stephenie Meyer is the best writer but she's a damn good story teller. And as I reallized today, I own the Twilight movie on DVD, the original soundtrack and now the new soundtrack. Plus, I have a mini poster hanging behind my desk. So ya... I'm a fan. And as it gets closer to November 20th and the release of New Moon I get more and more excited. Maybe I should finish the other two books...

So here are my thoughts on the soundtrack so far...

• It's very mellow and a bit dark which matches the theme of the novel. Well done.
• I'm a little disappointed in the Muse and Death Cab for Cutie tracks- they're kind of a drag. And not in an emotastic way. Just in a not-good-on-the-ears kind of way.
  
• I'm devastated to say that there is no Rob Pattinson song! Um hello?!! How could he not be on the new sountrack?? Never Think is so amazing- I was expecting a follow up! And no Paramore...so sad.
  
• There is a gorgous Lykke Li song called Possibility. I might be biased cause I love her music, but this song is possibly my fav one on the soundtrack.
• Some other winners- there's great tracks by the Killers, Lupe Fiasco (rememebr him?) and Anya Marina.
• There is a song by the Editors called No Sound But the Wind- it sounds like a mix of Neil Diamond and The National. I sort of hated it at first by now I really dig it. I don't even know why. It's pretty great though.

So there ya have it- my rundown of the soundtrack.
I'll pretty much be listening to it non-stop until the movie comes out, and then just listening to it even more. Anything that channels Edward Cullen is great with me!

Back to the Office

So last year I accidently stopped watching The Office, one of my most favorite shows. Blame it on busy Thursday nights or the fact that I no longer had my AZ roomies to watch it with, but either way I somehow stopped tuning in. THEN two weeks ago I heard that they were having PAM AND JIM'S WEDDING episode and I reallized that I HAD to tune in again. How could I miss THAT episode?? It's Pam and Jim! They are hands down the best TV couple ever (yes, better than Chuck and Blaire.) So I played a little catch up on season five and the begining of season six and just yesterday finally saw the wedding episode. Let me just say, SOOOO GOOD! I laughed, I cried (for real) and I totally became re-hooked on The Office again.

I loved loved loved the "Forever" dance scene- see the video link below- and could not stop laughing.

And there were some killer Jim lines that totally had me in tears, including:

"I bought the boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we'd need a backup plan. The boat was actually plan C. The church was plan B. And plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her."

Ugh such a goodie! Can't wait to get back into the office! The show, not the real one : )

It's All in the Details

"What might seem like little details—a nude shoe, a pair of patterned tights, or an oversized clutch—are actually the sort of key pieces that speak volumes about their personal style."



Check out this fabulous write-up I stumbled upon from whowhatwear.

Who doesn't love a website that tells you exactly where to get the exact pieces you see and have to have?? Sooo amazing.

Free People Shows Us What's Up

Soooo I was browsing online trying to help Becca find a dress for a wedding she's attending and I stumbled upon lots of goodies. One site in particular really surprised me with their awesome assortment...
FREE PEOPLE. Mhmm. That's right.
I kind of forget about this brand sometimes, and I'm usually not a big fan of their fabric choices and layers. However, they have some killer pieces online right now and I was seriously impressed with their overall selection. Not only were the dresses worth taking a look at, but I was really diggin their tops and accessories as well.
I think you should take a gander...
